DISPENSING ATTACHMENT FOR BOTTLES.

Application filed April 17, 1922. Serial No. 553,660.

To all whom t may con com Be it known that Geenen F. ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Oklahoma City, in the county of Oklahoma and State of Oklahoma., has invented new and useful Improvements in Dispensino Attachments for Bottles, of which the following is a specication.

The object of the invention is to provide a dispensing device in the form of an attachment for use in connection with bottles, demijohns, carboys and the like to avoid the necessity of maintaining the receptacle in a normally upright position and manually tilting the same in ord r to discharge a portion of the contents thereof; and furthermore to provide a device of this type which can readily be applied to and detached from bottles as they are required for use while leaving the receptacle unequipped during shipment or storage or when not in use, so that the possibility of injury to the dispensing attachment is minimized; and with these objects in View the invention consists in a construction and combination of parts of which a preferred embodiment is shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein 2- Figure l is a side view of a dispensing device or attachment applied in the operative position to a bottle.

i Figure 2 is a front view of the same.

Figure 3 is a bottom plan View thereof. rThe device consists essentially of a cap or cup l() designed to receive the neck of a bottle l1 and snugly it the latter, so that the frce edge may bear against the shoulder of the bottle, not tight enough, however, to preclude the entrance of air which is necessary for the venting of the device. The cap is provided with a discharge faucet 12 of any suitable valved type of which a conventional form is indicated in the drawing. iVhen the bottle is placed in the cap, the contents will flow through the neck 0f the former until it has filled the cap to the level of the mouth of the neck. Thus, when the faucet is opened, the contents may readily flow through the faucet from the cap, being replaced in the latter by transfer from the bottle. The cap is pivotally mounted in a bracket 14 adapted to be attached to the bottle in order to hold the cap or cup in proper position With relation to the bottle. ,n

In the construction illustrated the bracket is provided with an arml extending longitudinally of the bottle and having pivotally mounted on its free end as indicated at 16 a clamping ring 17 to encircle or embrace the bottle near the bottom. To permit of pivotal movement of the cap or cup obviously the retaining ring may be disengaged from the bottle or may be slid longitudinally thereof, and the attachment is preferably applied to the bottle when the latter is in an upright or normal position with the cap inverted so as to be fitted down over the neck of the bottle. This arrangement having been effected and the bracket secured by the clamping ring to the bottle, the latter may be inverted to theposition indicated in the drawings so as to provide for the dispensing of the liquid from time to time as may be required through the outlet afforded by the faucet.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new and useful is z- A dispensing attachment for bottles cemprising a bracket designed for mouniingtmn a wall or partition, a cap pivotally mounted in the bracket for the reception of the neck of the bottle, the cap supporting the weight of the bottle and being provided with a dispensing faucet, and an arm carried by the bracket and extending longitudinally ofthe attached bottle, said arm being provided with means for slidable engagement with the bottle to preclude swinginoh movement of the bottle on the pivotal connection of the cap. ln testimony whereof he aiiixes his si gna'- ture.
